The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1705 The Dou Family's Plan

"I think that the four academies in Dongshan County's Zhuangzi will sooner or later become our confidants." Dou Shilun said weakly: "At the beginning when he was tossing around in Dongshan County, he thought it was a small trouble, just because of those in his Zhuangzi. Children can go to school, but who would have imagined that the academy would develop so fast, and in a blink of an eye, the Guozijian in Chang'an City was struggling under the pressure of the academy in Dongshan County."

At the beginning, Xuan Shijing was really only building an academy for the children in his own village, but later he accidentally felt that since the academy was built, it would be a big deal, otherwise he would be sorry for the names of Gao Shilian and Xiao Yu head.

It is easy to build an academy, but it is as difficult as heaven to equip the academy with suitable teachers.

In the past, there were only two people, Gao Shilian and Xiao Yu. After the expansion of the first phase of the academy, the two called for friends, making the academy on Zhuangzi in Dongshan County one of the first-class academies in the Tang Dynasty.

Even without the friends of Gao Shilian and Xiao Yu, with these two great gods sitting in the academy, plus a medical master Sun Simiao, the academy attended by Zhuangzi is no less inferior to any academy in other places.

"It is already impossible to contain the academies in Dongshan County." Dou Yan also found it troublesome when he mentioned this issue. The academies in Dongshan County are indeed of no benefit to them. If they lose to the Academy of Arts, then there will be a good show, and the academy in Dongshan County will definitely go up to a higher level by then, and they can't stop it.

How to stop it?Is it the enemy of His Majesty or the scholars of the world?
Although the Dou family is powerful, it is not yet high enough to be able to float like this.

Scholars from poor families in the world are also a big force, they can only take the opportunity to win over, not suppress.

Dongshan County Academy grew up too fast, and its starting point was originally very high. Even though it was only a small academy, the master of the academy was Gao Shilian, and the person behind the academy was also the Xuan family. Later, the academy He joined the royal family again, and the prince became the nominal dean of Dongshan County Academy. How would they attack the academy?
Now those gentlemen in the academy, if they take out one at random, they are relatively well-known figures in the circle of scholars in the Tang Dynasty. Can they offend them?

Maybe they have no power or power, but now they are all gathered in the academy on Zhuangzi in Dongshan County, and they are huddled together. Unless there are really aristocratic families who want to make things difficult for them regardless of the consequences and all costs, otherwise, it is better not to provoke them.

Especially for some older guys, who knows if they have one or two promising disciples or something.

Today, the teaching group of the academy on Zhuangzi in Dongshan County is like a hornet's nest, and whoever stabs it will be in bad luck.

That's why Dou Shilun said that the academy in Dongshan County will become their confidant's trouble sooner or later, and it is still a confidant's trouble that cannot be moved.

Now Renjia Academy has begun to develop rapidly, and it is still developing, and its momentum cannot be interrupted.

"I think, if it is the academy of Zhuangzi in Dongshan County, or the Xuan family, we don't have to be enemies with it. The matter of Dou Kui has been in the past for so many years, and it is over when it is over, and the cause of Dou Kui's death , our family knows in our hearts that as for Shang Lie's matter, he still helped me with this matter, and the prince also gave justice to Xiaoguo's matter. In Xiaoguo's own words, this matter was originally his No, but what is not right is not right, our Dou family protects the weak and protects the weak, two different things." Dou Yan said.

"Brother, do you mean to make friends with the Xuan family?" Dou Shilun said, "But, will the Xuan family be willing?"

"Why not?" Dou Yan said.

"We have to talk about the reason, what the eldest brother said just now, is between the younger generation of our Dou family and Xuan Shijing."

"Xuan Shijing helped Dali Temple and found out about Shang Lie's matter. This matter can be regarded as helping our Dou family. If we use this matter to get in touch with the Xuan family, will the Xuan family refuse to make friends with our Dou family? ?” Dou Yan said: “Although the Xuan family is in the imperial court and is the most popular in Chang’an City, it is still a new big family with a weak foundation. What about our Dou family? If Xuan Shijing refuses again, it will be a toast instead of fine wine, and if you want to invite him to the guest room, he insists on dragging him to the donkey room." Dou Yan said: "As for the previous matter, It's not a big deal, both sides can let it go, can't they?"

Dou Shilun nodded: "That's true, but how does eldest brother plan to make friends with the Xuan family?"

"Don't worry, won't Mingde Academy still recruit students next summer? There are one or two boys in our Dou family, and they have reached the age to enroll." Dou Yan said.

In the Dou family, the twelve or thirteen-year-old nephews and nephews are usually hired by the family, or taught by themselves. When they are old, they will go to the Imperial College to study, but obviously Dou Yan has no plans to do so. up.

He wanted to send his family's children to Dongshan County Academy, and to apply for the College of Arts in the future instead of choosing Guozijian.

It's not that there are no descendants of the Dou family in the Guozijian, big families have always been like this, and eggs are never put in one basket.

Dou Yan was also not worried that the descendants of the Dou family would waste their studies in the Dongshan County Academy. After careful calculation, the students of Dongshan County Academy were much more important than the students of Guozijian.

Dou Yan can't understand how the Guozijian is. Most of the Guozijian are officials. Many of the gentlemen from the academy on Zhuangzi in Dongshan County used to be officials, but now they are just simple teachers. In the academy, they are safe and sound. Teaching and educating people is not as difficult as being an official.

Hearing Dou Yan's words, Dou Shilun also nodded and agreed with his elder brother's proposal to send the children of the family to study in the academy. It is good for the children of the family. Come, Dou's family also has some connections with the academy. In the future, regardless of whether the academy is good or bad, it will not do any harm to the Dou family.

As for the Guozijian, whether they can succeed by themselves depends on what answer Chunwei can give next year.

There is no news about the relationship between the Zheng family and the Luoyang bank, and they were suppressed by Li Chengqian, so the Dou family is only planning the relationship between their own family and the Xuan family, and planning the connection with the academy. Thinking of Xuan Shijing's expansion of the academy with great fanfare at the moment, what is the purpose and what is it aimed at.

As long as the plan between Xuan Shijing and Li Chengqian is not leaked out, others will never know that Xuan Shijing is preparing for confrontation with the aristocratic family.

Don't the aristocratic families occupy the official resources in the court?
